Act 158 of 2018 (Act 158)

As many of you are already aware, the Pennsylvania General Assembly Passed Act 158 of 2018 to modify the graduation requirements for all students in the state of Pennsylvania. This law requires that every student meet a graduation requirement of proficiency on the Keystone Exams or via an alternative pathway. Please refer to the infographic to help explain the different pathways that we as a school may use to gauge your child's fulfillment of this graduation requirement. This resource also serves as our tool to assist us in our conversations with families as we work in partnership to chart their child's path to graduation. 

Our team at Mechanicsburg Area Senior High School will be in communication with families on their next steps in this process.  As always, thank you for your trust and please reach out to your child's school counselor if you need any further clarification.
